Financial Accountant – Treasury | Private Equity-Backed Hospitality Group | London

FS Partners is delighted to be partnering with a fast-growing, private equity-backed lifestyle accommodation group to recruit a Financial Accountant with a Treasury focus. The business operates several aparthotel brands serving corporate and leisure guests, and it is expanding quickly into major European cities.

This is an excellent opportunity for a newly qualified accountant to move into a varied, high-profile role in a Group Reporting team. You will gain real exposure to debt reporting, treasury and multi-jurisdiction accounting while the business scales.

The role

Reporting to the Group Reporting Manager, you will:

• Act as the internal subject-matter expert on the operating requirements of the group's debt facility agreements
• Prepare monthly and quarterly debt covenant reporting and liaise with lenders and other external stakeholders
• Manage cash to support the group's debt structures, including at interest payment dates
• Post monthly interest and hedging entries, and prepare hedge accounting schedules and papers
• Lead improvements to intercompany processes through rationalisation, documentation and alignment
• Support the understanding of reporting and compliance requirements in new jurisdictions as hotels open
• Help retender outsourced finance providers in overseas markets
• Prepare IFRS to local GAAP reconciliations for European statutory accounts
• Coordinate year-end fixed asset valuations and support the group audit
• Contribute to business-critical projects and process and systems improvements as the group grows

About you

• Newly qualified ACA, CA, ACCA or CIMA with strong academic results
• 2:1 degree or above (or equivalent)
• Strong technical accounting skills, and ideally an awareness of IFRS and how it interacts with local GAAPs
• Experience with finance systems; Oracle NetSuite is a strong advantage
• Exposure to multi-entity, multi-currency or multi-GAAP groups is desirable
• Hospitality, real estate or treasury experience is a plus but not essential
• Analytical, organised and detail-focused, with the confidence to challenge existing processes
• Strong communicator who builds relationships easily and works well under pressure and to deadlines

What's on offer

• A broad, visible role in a PE-backed group in a period of rapid growth
• Exposure to treasury, debt reporting and international accounting early in your post-qualification career
• Clear scope for personal development as processes and systems evolve
• Competitive salary and benefits
